Maintaining PCI cards
Installing the first HSI/P card or a pair of HSI/P cards
To install the first HSI/P card or a pair of HSI/P cards:
1.Verify that you have a recent CMSADM file system backup before you change card configurations.
2.Log in to the system as root.
3.Enter: cfgadm
This displays the PCI card configuration before you add a card. Recheck the configuration after you have added the card.
4.Enter:
/usr/sbin/shutdown -y -i0 -g0
This shuts down the system.
5.Press and release the front panel power button to turn off the system. Wait for the front panel Power/OK LED to turn off.
6.Turn the key switch to the Forced Off position. See the following figure.
!
DANGER:
Be sure to turn the key switch to the Forced Off position before handling any internal components. Otherwise, it is possible for a user to restart the system remotely while you are working inside it. The Forced Off position is the only key switch position that prevents an RSC user from restarting the system.
7.Turn off the system monitor.
8.Turn off any external SCSI devices, starting with the device that is closest to the system and working toward the farthest device.
